GS4 · UPSC Mains
There is no clear guideline on prioritisation. Your logistics officer proposes splitting materials evenly — but that would undermine CBC's critical need. Your written mandate only says, "Ensure equitable and prompt distribution based on need and urgency." To complicate matters further, you receive a call from the Chief Minister's Office, "urging" that AXY's issues be given "immediate attention" — though no official order follows. Questions (a) What are the ethical issues and dilemmas you can identify in this situation? (b) What are the options available to you? Evaluate them in terms of ethical reasoning and governance impact. (c) What will be your course of action, and how will you justify it using principles of public service ethics? (Answer in 250 words)
